Sallie Joy White oxplaina the different
cute of beef in the "Wide Awake.» She
nays
The first thing that is to ba done le to di-
vide the beef into the hind and fore quarters.
The hind -quarter contains the finest and
moab expcnetvo ants of the meat. Hare are
found the sirloin, the tenderloin. the rump
and the round. Tho cheapest portions of
the hind-gnattera are the shin and the
flank.
In the forequarter are the ribs, the shoul-
der, the shin, the rattle round and brisket,.
The ribs are the top of the back nearest
to the loin—join it, in fact, when the animal
is whole.
Tho first five ribs are what are called the
"prime" ribs ; these are used for roasts or
steaks. The nexb aro the five check ribs
lying between tho prime ribs and the neck ;
the meat is of a finer quality than on the
"prime" ribs, although they aro need for the
same purposes.
The neck is need for beef teas, for stews
and for boiling. Below the rib outs run-
ning along the aide of the animal, is the
rattle round ; this is used far corning.
The under part of the animal's body is call-
ed the brisket, and this is also used for
corning.
The shoulder is used for steaks and corn-
ing, though the less said about the tenderness
of shoulder steak, the better. The shin,
both in the front and the back, ie used for
soup and soup stock.
In the hindquarter come the first roasts
and steaks, as well as the juioiesb meats for
making beef tea, meat pies, beef e, la mode
of potted beef. Sirloin, of course, gives the
very choicest roasts and steaks; next comes
the rump; this is cut in three parte.
The back, the middle and the face are good
roasting pieces, but the middle cub is the
most economioal, ae it is free from bone and
has not a scrap of weste on it.
Good steaks are cut from the top of the
round; some people go so far as to say that
the flavor of a round steak is superior to
that of any other. The lower portion of
the round is used for braising and for beef
tea.
The tenderloin has the most tender meat,
but it is neither so j uioy nor so well flavored
as other portions that are nob so tender, and
it is not nearly so nutritious as portions that
require much cooking. The sirloin comes
next, in tenderness and delicacy. These
cost more than any other outs, bub there is •
lees nutritive value than is found in the
cheaper parts. Indeed, the ;net of the Violet lunches and breakfasts— they are
meat seems to be in an inverse ratio to its one and the same thing—are the popular en -
real food value. tertainmente during Lent.

Miss Da Sweet—," Do you like pearls 4'
Mr. Nicefellow—"I do not care for sep-
arate pearls : they are two tame: but I ad-
mire them in rows or clnstere.'
Mks Da 5," So clo I, if there is any-
thing I love it is a pearl necklace—large
pearls, you know. Pa gave me one some
yearn ago, but although it ie very handsome,
I do not care much for it, boaanse the pearls
are rather small."
Mr. N.—"Oh !Small pearla should never
bo put into a necklace. Only the largesb
size are worthy of auch display. For my
parb, I much prefer diamond necklaces."
Miss De 5.—" Aren't they lovely 1 The
pure white diamonds especially."
Mr. N.—"Yes. It's a pity, though, the
colored diamonds are out of fashion : but I
think they are coming back, I saw a neck-
lace today with every tenth diamond color-
ed, and the effect was wonderfully brilliant.
Ib was ab Rffany's ; quite cheap too. By
the way, will you marry me ?'•
Miss De S.—" Oh! This is so sudden !
Yes, my love, I will."
Mies De Sweet (half an hour later) "Clara
Nubbins, next door, is engaged too ; but I
think her lover showed shookieg taste in the
selection of her ring, it is so bigand clumsy ;
and besides it seems sorb of brazen. It is
six large diamonds set with pearls."
Mr. Nieefellow—" For an engagement -
ring there is nothing neater than plain gold.
Biffany has them for a dollar."
;Who The Undertaker Was.
A lady was considerably astonished the
other day by hearing a little miss of 8 years
remark, " I am getting up a surprise party ;
there will be six besides the undertaker in-

asked her who "the undertaker" was. The

Manhood Suffrage.
The Newfoundland Legislature has just
passed a simple manhood suffrage bill, the
qualifying clause of which is as follows :
"Every male British subject of the full age
of twenty-one years, who for two years pre-
ceding the day of election has been a resident
in this cclony, who is of sound understanding,
who has not within one year of the election
received relief as a pauper out of the public
money, and who has never been convicted in
due course of any infamous crime, shall be
competent to vote for the eleotion of a mem-
der or members of the General Assembly in
and for the electoral district within which
he reaided for one year at least immediately
preceding the election. Provided that a
tempory absence from the district within the
year aforesaid shall not be hell to disquaify
an elector."

Speed of Railroad Trains,
Says Prof. Hadley: "The speed of rail-
road trains is restricted within three theor-
etical limits : First, a physical limit of
eighty miles an hour, beyond which ib is
found impossible for a train to hold the
track ; second, an operating limit of sixty
miles anhour, which practical experience
has found that trains cannot run without
much damage to life; third, a commercial
limit of thirty miles per hour, at which all
things ooneidered, it 'ie'fouad most eoonom-
ioel to run a train."

Soul Stirring Eloquence,
Old. Colonel Zell at the time when Grant
was up for the American Presidency and
when the Democratic watchword was "Any-
thing to beat Grant 1" was addressing an en-
thusiastic meeting of the Republicans, when..
a Democrat, who was hanging on to the
verge of the crowd, sang out : "It's easy
talkin' Colonel. but we'll show you some-
thing next fall." The Colonel was a Southern
Union man of the ultra school and a great
admirer of Grant. He at once wheeled
about and with uplifted hands, hair bristling,
and eyes flashing fire, cried out : "Build a•
wire fence round a winter supply of summer-

Here is a story from Harrison street : A.

walked out of the store admiring himself.
In two minutes he came back, and diving his
hand into the pocket said to the olothesdeal-
er, holding up two cockroaches "See what
I found in the pocket !" " Well," said the
seller, "ain't you satisfied 1' Did you expect;
to get two canary birds, with a four -dollar
overcoat 2"
